The Junior Suite was trendy, unique, and very different than any other room we've stayed in before. It was perfect for the weekend. We enjoyed the location as there is a Starbucks one block out the door as well. The view of the Detroit River was beautiful in the morning. We would definitely stay at the Detroit Foundation again. Shoutout to John and Jordan for great customer service!

Wonderful hotel

Love the converted hotel feel. Lovely location and proximity to Detroit amenities. The restaurant is truly top tier, one of the best in the city no doubt. So good, Even non hotel guests were at the restaurant all three meals. Also loved the smaller details of the hotel like the beehives on the second floor and the library shelf on the third floor.

The Foundation is a historic building, an old firehouse that has been converted to a hotel. The hotel rooms are decorated in an art deco / mid century blend of decor and there are many original preserved details throughout the property. The terrazzo flooring is in mixed condition and I found it to be very cold. I would've preferred hardwood or carpet. The bathrooms are tastefully renovated and I loved the toiletry items provided (Le Labo Santal 33, which smells amazing). I did not eat at the restaurant, but the ambience was nice and the menu looked good.

Authentic, Amazing, A Must!

The staff was incredibly friendly and provided top notch service. Would highly recommend the stay and the experience. Love that they captured the essence of the original fire house headquarters while making it modern and inviting. Definitely a 10/10 stay!

Great boutique vibe hotel in perfect location

Went to Detroit as a couple to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday and go to an NBA game. This hotel was absolutely lovely with a tasty restaurant in house. It was perfect for a romantic and celebratory getaway and I loved how pet friendly they were! High class but hip and fabulous location and kind helpful staff.
